Floods on Yahara River, Lake Kegonsa dam to county line, Dane County, Wisconsin
Carl L. Lawrence, Barry K. Holmstrom
1972, Open-File Report 72-222
The State of Wisconsin, as a result of recent legislation, is establishing new, and upgrading old, minimum standards for flood-plain regulation. These standards require evaluations of the flood potential of many streams in Wisconsin. This report provides an evaluation of flood potential for the Yahara River in the 13-mile low-water channel...
Floods in Starkweather Creek basin, Madison, Wisconsin
Carl L. Lawrence, Barry K. Holmstrom
1972, Open-File Report 72-221
The city of Madison is establishing standards for flood-plain zoning and land-use planning. The evaluation of flood potential is a necessary factor to be considered before such standards are established and put into effect. Purpose and scope. The purposes of this report are to determine the magnitude and water surface...
Floods of May 1968 in south Arkansas
R.C. Gilstrap
1972, Water Supply Paper 1970-A
The floods of May 1968 in south Arkansas produced the greatest peak discharges in the history of recorded streamflow at several gaging stations. Most notable of these floods was on Cossatot River near DeQueen, which has a continuous record since 1938. The peak discharge of 122,000 cubic feet per second...
Appraisal of stream sedimentation in the Susquehanna River basin
Kenneth F. Williams, Lloyd A. Reed
1972, Water Supply Paper 1532-F
The Susquehanna River presently transports about 3.0 million tons of sediment annually (110 tons per square mile). Only about 1.8 million tons of sediment enters the head of Chesapeake Bay annually because some sediment is trapped behind the power dams on the lower Susquehanna. Measured annual sediment yields from subbasins...
Appraisal of shallow ground-water resources, Pueblo Army Depot, Colorado
Frank A. Welder, R. Theodore Hurr
1972, Open-File Report 72-447
The water supply for the Pueblo Army Depot, 15 miles wast of Pueblo, Colo., is obtained from wells that tap an aquifer in terrace alluvium. Withdrawals have resulted in a water-level decline of 27 feet, which adversely affects the discharge rate of individual wells. Furthermore, excessive pumpage has resulted in...
Definitions of selected ground-water terms, revisions and conceptual refinements
Stanley William Lohman
1972, Water Supply Paper 1988
For many years there has been a need for redefinition or more precise definition of certain ground-water terms used in publications by members of the U.S . Geological Survey. Another problem has been the expression of the coefficient of permeability (herein redefined as hydraulic conductivity) and the coefficient of transmissibility...
Summary of floods in the United States during 1967
J.O. Rostvedt
1972, Water Supply Paper 1880-C
This report describes the most outstanding floods in the United States during 1967. The two most destructive floods occurred in August in east-central Alaska and in September and October in southern Texas. In east-central Alaska, heavy rain on August 8-17 produced record-breaking floods near Fairbanks. Peak discharges on some streams...
